Table 1 Tolerance induced by morphine but not naloxone in MOR-KO mice that had been transfected with the dsAAV2-MORS196A-EGFP gene

From: Antinociceptive effects of morphine and naloxone in mu-opioid receptor knockout mice transfected with the MORS196A gene

 

ED50 of morphine

ED50 of naloxone

(mg/kg)

Acute effect

Sub-chronic effect

  1. The ED50 values of morphine and naloxone that inhibit the tail-flick responses were determined using the up-and-down method 3 weeks after gene transfer. The mice were then sub-chronically treated with morphine (10 mg/kg) or naloxone (10 mg/kg) subcutaneously twice a day for 4 days. ED50 values were then redetermined. Data are means ± the standard error of the mean (SEM) (n = 6).
